Changes in Respiratory Function over Time after Radiofrequency Ablation for Lung Tumors
Respiratory function decreased temporarily within 2 months after lung radiofrequency ablation but recovered several months thereafter. Caution is needed because forced expiratory volume in 1 s tends to decrease in the early period after radiofrequency ablation in patients with a smoking history and a Brinkman Index >500.
